A great spot to soak up the atmosphere on a warm evening. Kaiserschmarrn was light, fluffy, delicious, not too sweet. Service was friendly. I speak a little German, but they spoke excellent English.

I visited Demel Vienna on August 19 during breakfast. I have always loved Demel from my previous…read morevisits, and I know it is a world-renowned and historic establishment, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. I ordered my usual Kaiserschmarrn and a drink. I had noticed that the table next to me had a drink that looked good, so when the waitress took my order, I specifically told her that I wanted the same drink the table next to me was having. When my order arrived, it was brought by a different waitress. The drink looked completely different from what I had pointed to, so I asked her what it was. She told me it was a double espresso. I explained that I had not ordered a double espresso and again pointed to the drink at the table next to me, which was clearly a hot chocolate. The waitress then called over the waitress who had originally taken my order. Instead of simply acknowledging that there had been a misunderstanding, she insisted, "That's what you ordered." When I explained again that it wasn't, she told me, "It's the same thing." A **double espresso and a hot chocolate are obviously not the same thing.** What bothered me even more than the incorrect order was the way both waitresses spoke to me. Their attitudes and tone were extremely rude, dismissive, and demeaning--as though I was stupid for pointing out the obvious mistake. The interaction became uncomfortable enough that people sitting at other tables were looking over at us. To make matters worse, my Kaiserschmarrn was **cold**. It tasted as though it had already been sitting out for some time before it was brought to my table. I understand that mistakes happen. Had they simply apologized for the misunderstanding and corrected the drink, I would not have had an issue. Instead, I was argued with and spoken down to over something that could have been resolved in seconds. This was genuinely one of the worst customer-service experiences I have ever had at a restaurant, and certainly not what I expected from an establishment with Demel's reputation. After several previous visits that I enjoyed, it is extremely disappointing to say that I will not return and will no longer recommend Demel to my friends.

Okay, exaggeration because I can also tell you the scones are out of this world as is the white chocolate cake. There are also vegan options. Cakes are on rotation so there are always new things to try. Have also had brunch here a few times. LOVE the homemade tomato bread that is served with eggs. Love this place. Staff are amazing (customer service DOES exist in Austria if you go to the right places ;)) and I love the little things like fresh flowers on each table and the teapots and mugs. The outdoor seating is also really nice and spacious with nice fleecy blankets.

There was a spread that included with an assortment of an egg, cheese, bread, spreads, meats and fruit. As a typical Viennese breakfast, nothing was lacking! The fruit was seasonably ripe and fresh.

Everything looks gorgeous and breathtakingly beautiful, BUT the taste is not there. It is overall too sweet. The pistacchio dacquoise has benzaldehyde flavoring which I detest. The cream was real pistachio but was pretty heavy and sweet - didn't sit well with me. The Ribisel-Cremeschnitte was good, tart and sweet, but still, the cream too heavy. The vanilla cake was heavy and sweet. I mean heavy regarding double fat cream, the mouthfeel is light but you feel the fat content afterwards. Breakfast was ok - a slice of bread and brioche with jam (a little off tasting) and spread. Breakfast with coffee and pastry was 20€ which in my mind is too expensive for what it is. I wouldn't complain if the taste is as amazing as the looks. I really had high hopes for this place.

I got myself a good sized Austrian-style continental breakfast with rolls, butter and jam, cheese, cold cuts, coffee, orange juice, and a soft-boiled egg. A colleague of mine had the bacon and eggs, which also looked pretty good as well. I saw a bunch of champagne bottles around, which sort of reminds me of a champagne brunch that we have on Sundays at the Ak-Chin Harrah's Casino back in my hometown in Arizona (though of course, not as large or extensive). I like the fact that they open this early; it isn't like you're going to find an IHOP or Denny's in Vienna, so I suppose this is a good substitute if you want a decent breakfast at this hour. In addition to breakfast, they also serve sandwiches, light meals, and typical café pastries and cakes. It's a pretty decent place to go.

The pasta however lacked flavor and needed more salt. For dessert I got their House Tort and my daughter got a strawberry tart.

My chocolate tort was pretty good but not amazing like my daughter's. The room we sat is was lovely with ornate ceilings and beautiful chandeliers. We didn't have a reservation so we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table, and this was at 2:15 in the afternoon. Our server was very attentive. I'd return and get the strawberry tart!
